FASTENER IDENTIFICATION AND TORQUE DATA

1. DESCRIPTION
This section contains information on the correct usage and identification of bolts, flat washers, lock wash-
ers, nuts, lock nuts, fittings and torque data. The nuts, bolts, and washers used on the airplane are in
accordance with Air Force Navy Specifications, Military Specifications, and National Aircraft Standards.

2. MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
A. Bolts
Bolts can be identified by the marking(s) located on the head of each bolt. When securing a fastener,
use the torque specifications from the following tables. (See Figure 20-601)
When torquing fasteners which do not have a specific torque pattern called out, refer to the general
torque patterns shown. (See Figure 20-602)

CAUTION: Composite and non-composites require different torque values. Make sure to select the
correct torque table.

B. Self Locking Nuts

When torquing a self-locking nut, the nut should be run down on the threads of the bolt until the nut
almost contacts the mating surface. The amount of torque required to run the nut down (friction drag
torque) should be measured and added to the amount of torque specified for the fastener.
Repeated removal and installation will cause the self-locking nut to lose its locking feature. They
should be replaced when they are no longer capable of maintaining the minimum prevailing torque.

CAUTION: Never use a tap in a self locking nut or nutplate. Discard these parts, if this has occurred.
Never install a self locking nut or nutplate backwards on a bolt. Discard these parts if this
has occurred.

C. Calculating Torque (See Figure 20-605)

CAUTION: Over-torquing of fasteners can result in failed fasteners and/or components. Under
torquing a fastener can result in premature wear of the fastener and/or the fastening
material which can result in failure of the component and/or fastener.

Note: Observe torque values and the installation of the recommended safetying device for
every fastener. Impact-type wrenches should never be used on any fastener whose
torque is crucial. If a nut is slightly over torqued, it must be loosened and then re-torqued
to the correct value. Never back off a nut or a bolt and leave it un-torqued. Exceeding the
maximum recommend torque is not permissible.

To assure an accurate torque measurement, a smooth and even motion must be applied. Whenever a
bolt is torqued on the head side instead of torquing the nut, additional resistance (friction drag torque)
may occur due to the friction of the shank during rotation. This could result in an under-torqued fas-
tener. The value (friction drag torque) observed from the torque wrench indicator during the initial tight-
ening phase of the bolt (before seating of the bolt has been accomplished), must be added to the
torque value given in the specified torque table. When checking friction drag torque, use a torque
wrench which allows the friction drag torque to fall in the middle of the overall range of the torque
wrench.
When using a torque wrench with an adapter that changes the distance from the torque wrench drive
centerline to the adapter centerline, compensation must be made for the extra leveraged gained. New
torque specifications must be calculated before the wrench is used. To calculate the new torque speci-
fications, use the formula in Figure 20-605. (See Figure 20-605)
(1) Requirements for Calculating Torque
(a) When selecting a torque wrench, select one that has the required torque specification in
the middle of the overall range of the torque wrench. When lower torque specifications are
called out, always use an inch-pound torque wrench or a smaller foot-pound torque
wrench. Use only calibrated torque wrenches that have been certified.
(b) Calibrate the torque wrench and recheck calibration frequently to assure accuracy.
(c) Thoroughly clean and dry all threads and fasteners prior to torquing.
(d) Torque only to the specified range; stopping instantly at the correct torque.
(e) When using a torque wrench adapter be certain to allow for the additional extension length
when torquing.
(f) Sheet metal screws and screws tightened to nutplates should be tightened firmly.
(g) Always start the nut or bolt by hand prior to the torquing process.
(h) Screws using dimpled washers should be drawn tight enough to eliminate the crown of the
washer.
(i) Specified torques must be considered dry torques.
(j) Castellated nuts requiring cotter pins should be tightened to low torque value. Torque can
be increased to install cotter pin, but should never exceed maximum torque value.
(k) When nut cannot be tightened within given torque values to install cotter pins, remove nut,
install a washer, then reinstall nut.
